Pros

Okay culture, decent benefits - except vacation time is not competitive with the market. There isn’t many and I’m not fully sure what the strong reviews are for.

Cons

It’s ridiculous that this company still acts as big brother and doesn’t trust their employees to work from home and have other flex time options - no flex Fridays, summer hours, compressed work weeks, etc. I’m not sure how the company plans to attract younger talent that expects this today. Also, it’s even more ridiculous as most of the day you’re on video calls anyway. If you’re looking for a flexible employer due to, oh I don’t know, life, don’t work here.

-I did not know anything about finance, just had sales experience to my name and an open mind to learning and they took me in and tought me so much. -Benefits are top tier, from the basics to some that you didn't know they even existed. -They give you 8 hours a quarter for personal development. -Good pay without even including bonus or language add ons. -You will learn a LOT -

Cons

-2 year role commitment -Very corporate so might not let be your true self in the job with peers.
